Slowing Nearsightedness in Children with Safe, Proven Treatments
Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common vision condition where distant objects appear blurry. It typically develops in childhood and tends to worsen with age. At Eyeconic Optometry in Marysville, our eye doctors offers evidence-based myopia control to slow progression and help protect your child’s long-term eye health.
Why Is Myopia Control Important?
Unchecked, progressive myopia can increase the risk of serious eye diseases later in life, including:
-
Retinal detachment
-
Glaucoma
-
Cataracts
-
Macular degeneration
Myopia Control Treatment Options
We offer safe, child-friendly treatments that are effective in slowing the progression of myopia:
-
Low-Dose Atropine Eye Drops: A simple, daily eye drop that’s clinically proven to slow myopia progression with minimal side effects.
-
